House of Virgin Mary - Basilica of St John

The House of the Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic and Muslim shrine located on Mt. Koressos. Catholic pilgrims visit the house based on the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John and lived there until her Assumption (according to Catholic doctrine) (or what would be Dormition (according to Orthodox belief)) More details

Basilica of St. John in Ephesus was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century. It stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. It was modeled after the now lost Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. More details

My sincere thanks to all of you for  birthday greetings! Made my day!

ADDED: Arnold, if I were to crop the sign board, then the balance created by the brick wall would have gone.
